Surface dressing update for Tuesday, July 3

Surface dressing is set to take place today, Tuesday, July 3, on two sections of the Tankerness Hall road near Bossack Quarry, in Orkney’s East Mainland.

Orkney Islands Council (OIC) has said the road will be closed in both directions while the work is carried out, with short signed diversions in place.

The Service 3 bus from Kirkwall to Deerness via Tankerness at 7.17am and 5.25pm, and the return trips, will be unaffected. But the 8.45am, 1pm and 3.30pm buses from Kirkwall, and return trips from Deerness, will not serve the Tankerness Hall road.
